Erk FM: Extra 08 – Heathen Eyes interview

Welcome to episode 8 of Erk FM: Extra. This week’s interview is with hard rock/metal band Heathen Eyes who are based in Auckland, New Zealand. The band were in Sydney to compete in the Global Battle Of The Bands competition.

The interview was recorded in an Irish pub in the centre of Sydney on Thursday afternoon. That night, they were performing at one of Erk’s favourite Sydney venues – The Valve. On Saturday night, the band competition was held at the Evan Theatre at Panthers.

Continuing back at looking back at music across Channel Erk, Erk features an alternative online music festival called Couch X Couchwest.
